Granulomatosis con Poliangeitis

La granulomatosis con poliangeitis, anteriormente conocida como granulomatosis de Wegener, es una enfermedad autoinmune rara de etiología desconocida. Produce una inflamación granulomatosa necrosante de los LOS Neisseria vasos sanguíneos pequeños y medianos de la nariz, los LOS Neisseria senos paranasales, la garganta, los LOS Neisseria pulmones y los LOS Neisseria riñones. Los LOS Neisseria estadios iniciales de la granulomatosis con poliangeitis suelen presentar manifestaciones localizadas, como infecciones del tracto respiratorio superior, lesiones cutáneas y/o síntomas constitucionales. Los LOS Neisseria estadios posteriores pueden presentar insuficiencia renal y enfermedad respiratoria grave. El diagnóstico y el tratamiento tempranos de la granulomatosis con poliangeitis (que implica la administración de corticosteroides y agentes inmunosupresores como el metotrexato) pueden conducir a una remisión completa, pero sin tratamiento, la afección tiene una alta tasa de mortalidad.
